Countdown: 7 Weeks
In about seven weeks - seven and a half, actually - we will be moving to Cranston, Rhode Island. We picked a house to rent, we scheduled some movers, we reserved a moving truck. Now the countdown really starts, since we know to the day how much time we have left.
I am happy with the house that we chose and looking forward to some of its amenities -- a garage with an automatic door, and central air. I wish that it was closer to the ocean but not every place can be Falmouth Foreside. I'm looking forward to being so close to a great zoo and a park like Roger Williams Park. I'm also looking forward to Boston being commutable. Without traffic, getting to the Children's museum in Boston will take under an hour. I'm also looking forward to convincing our NYC family to treat our house as their country cottage. It's a three hour drive between Cranston and the big apple, totally doable for a weekend trip. And I'm really looking forward to exploring those Rhode Island beaches. The kids are going to be super fun this summer, swimming with their water wings and floating devices, and I plan to spend every sunny day I can with the two of them, in and out of the water.
Now that we know where we are living next year and we know our moving date, it feels like things are really happening. 51 days seems like right around the corner, and really, it is. Every time I empty the dishwasher or sort the clean laundry I think "oh, I should just box this up, we wont use it until after we move" or "this is going to get thrown away."
Next up: packing!
